Sermersooq, Municipal territory in eastern Greenland.
Description
Sermersooq is a municipality in eastern Greenland covering vast territories with deep fjords, mountains, and glaciers across its landscape. Several settlements dot the coastline throughout the region, each relying heavily on maritime connections and sea-based resources.
History
The municipality was established in 2009 when five former administrative districts merged to create a new governance structure for the region. This reorganization streamlined administration and shaped Greenland's modern boundaries.
Culture
Inhabitants of Sermersooq communicate in Kalaallisut and Danish languages while maintaining traditional hunting and fishing practices alongside modern urban lifestyles.
Practical
The municipality is only reachable by plane or boat since no roads connect the settlements. Visitors should prepare for limited services and plan shopping and supplies in the larger towns.
Did you know?
The municipality contains Nuuk, Greenland's capital, which gives significant weight to this otherwise scattered region. This contrast between the modern capital and remote coastal settlements makes the area memorable.
